Merely initiating contact with us via email or through our website does not create an attorney client privilege or relationship. Such communications are not necessarily secure or confidential either. Finally your communication may be in conflict with some of our existing clients. While we welcome you to communicate, it is wise to keep your initial communication brief and not too detailed. We must also run a conflict check against existing and former clients before we talk with you, usually in person, before the attorney client privilege would apply. Further we must both agree after before an attorney client relationship is created, and we will generally not agree to represent you until financial arrangements for payment of fees and expenses have been agreed upon and met.
